z4p8y (z4p8y) asked a question.

Pre-defining default attributes in user profile

I was wondering if there was a way to pre-define some of the base User Attributes in a user's profile.

 

For example, the attribute of department. We want to give a dropdown list of all the departments in our organization rather than someone typing it.

 

Why? Person-A might define or type this information differently than Person-B. Being pre-defined would help keep this consistent across the board. It also doesn't help that our MDM requires fields to be an exact Match for it to populate correctly.

    That capability is not currently available in the Okta user interface, but if you have or know anyone with some web development skills, you could build a small web app front-end for onboarding users that offers that sort of functionality, then uses Okta API calls to create the accounts using information collected from your app.
